Here is a puzzle for you to solve.
River City Circuits Corporation (a.k.a. RC3) needs to power a small device - a compatchener. The compatchener has the following requirements:
v Current
Draw:
When idle: 0 ma.
When active: 10 ma.
v Voltage
Requirements
Voltage at the terminals must
remain between 8.5 and 9.5 v.
RC3 needs a circuit that will deliver the required voltage, but they have only a 12v source. They think that a simple voltage divider will do the trick. In the circuit below, the compatchener is connected to the output of the voltage divider.

Design a voltage divider that will power the compatchener and meet the current and voltage requirements.
